Sklar Gil-Vernet Renal Sinus Retractor, 11mm
A malleable neck Sklar Gil-Vernet renal sinus retractor with an 11mm saddle hook tip, 9-1/2 inches long, used to retract tissue during kidney surgery.
The Sklar Gil-Vernet Renal Sinus Retractor is a 9-1/2 inch instrument with a malleable neck and a saddle shaped hook tip measuring 11mm wide, designed to retract tissue and structures within the renal sinus during kidney surgery. The malleable neck allows the surgeon to bend the shaft into the exact angle needed to hold back tissue in the deep, confined operative field around the renal pelvis and vessels, then hold that shape through the procedure.
The saddle hook tip cradles rather than pierces surrounding structures, which supports gentler retraction in this sensitive anatomical area. This pattern is offered by Sklar in a range of tip widths, from 8mm up to 23mm across six sizes, so urologic surgeons can choose the width best suited to the specific renal anatomy and retraction task in front of them.
Urologists and general surgeons performing renal procedures use retractors like this as part of a dedicated urology or renal surgery instrument set.
